Well, that and a receipt for my 5056P, going in for the first service since it was sold in 1998. I got it last December and wanted to enjoy it for a bit before sending it off for a well deserved vacation. It was running well, although a big fast (~ 2 min / week, not scientifically measured). And the strap was starting fray... Patrick was very helpful and patient in explaining the process, showing me a wide variety of straps, etc.

However, I was a bit shocked to learn the expected turn around time: up to four weeks for an evaluation / diagnosis and then a further TWENTY weeks for the routine servicing (assuming nothing else is required). So I guess by mid-April this will be back on my wrist... in the meantime, there will be more wrist time available for my 5135R. That guy has been languishing in the shadow of the 5056P, patiently waiting for his turn in the sun.

Wouldn't it be nice if HSWA offered loaners while your watch was in their hands :)
